    It is available for all

I is for Impossible

Just

How 
How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? 

It's as simple as FAITH.  Forsaking All I Trust Him.

It's as simple as this prayer:

Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and have displeased You in many ways.  I believe You died for my sin and only through faith in Your death and resurrection can I be forgiven.

I want to turn from my sin and ask you to come into my life as my Savior and Lord.  From this day on, I will follow You by living a life that pleases You.  Thank You, Lord Jesus for saving me.  Amen.
